You should be ashamed of yourselves part II

Royal Lady · by **Royal Lady** » 01 Sep 2007 18:13

On leaving after the final whistle today the two blokes about 4 seats along from us were screaming to Shorey to "eff off". I said to one of them, quite nicely in fact, "awww he wasn't that bad" - to which I was subjected to a tirade of foul mouthed abuse, telling me to shut up as I know nothing about the game, asking me about what the West Ham fans had been singing (i.e. you should have come to West Ham) and continually yelling in between to Shorey to "eff off" again.

His neanderthal brother then decided to chip in and say it was Shorey's worst performance ever, to which Schards disagreed. Then he said to Schards "are you saying that's his best performance ever then?"

To which Schards replied that of course it wasn't, it just wasn't his worst performance ever, although he didn't have a particularly good game and in his opinion he was worse against Everton.

These two knuckle heads then decided to tell me and Schards to "shut the eff up or they'd shut us up"

I'm all for people having an opinion and I actually only commented to these blokes because in the past they've been ok and said hello when I've squeezed past them for my usual toilet break 3 minutes before half time.

Some other people told us that they're always like that when we've lost or played badly and one guy had previously reported them to the club when they had a similar go at him a few years ago and they had received a letter. I could contact the club and get their season tickets revoked. But I'm not going to be that nasty. I just hope that when they have calmed down they realise that they were a tad over reacting. They've been going long enough to have seen us lose at home to much lesser teams in much lower divisions, so I hope they think on and realise that we ALL want Reading to do well in every game, but in reality that just doesn't happen.

I hope they're nobbers, or someone they know is a nobber and can point them in this direction. I'll accept their apology willingly.

If, however, they do that again and speak to me or anyone else around us like that again and I WILL report you and you WILL have your season tickets revoked.

Much love.

Get a grip. It's a football match, not the opera.

i was thinking that aswell it doesnt give the team any confidence, which they must not have in the first place after losing two games on the trot 3-0

Royal Lady Well, I'm sorry - but language like that has been going on at football matches since even I was little. In fact, my grandad wouldn't take me to games due to the bad language and this was in the 60's.

It is a natural reflex to shout and swear when things are going wrong, if the ref has made mistakes, if you feel players aren't pulling their weight. If you truly thought that fans at football matches sat quietly clapping their teams and shouting "bravo", then I would be surprised.

My kids have been going to football since they were all tiny. They also knew when they were younger that anything they heard that were "naughty words" were not to be repeated.

At 11 years old, I'd be very surprised if she didn't already know all these words from the playground!

is that a murking?

Royal Lady · by **Royal Lady** » 01 Sep 2007 18:44

I wasn't complaining about the language per se, more the threatening behaviour ACTUALLY. No-one should have to put up with threatening behaviour from anyone, particularly their own fans!

I did think that having a go at Shorey was uncalled for. If they'd effed at the whole team, I wouldn't have said anything!

Did they play the 'woman' card?

Royal Lady · by **Royal Lady** » 01 Sep 2007 18:59

Of course! You know nothing about football, he said. I replied "yes, that's why I've been coming to watch Reading for the last 30 years..." I don't profess to know as much as some blokes about the game though. However, on this occasion, being threatened with a punching because I said really nicely "awww Shorey wasn't THAT bad", I'd say I know rather more than that moron.

RL - I'm sorry. Emotions run riot when Reading play so badly, but that's no excuse. Myself and AndyRFC apologise profusely.

They were MUCH worse than you two, and that's saying something, I'll admit!

Oh that's what your altercation was about. You were spotted, and I said you are always bolshy like that!

But those guys are complete prats, as is their 'friend' who goes bright red, rocks backwards and forwards and starts giving it large as soon as we have a goal scored against us. Don't take any crap from them.

If you know who they are, might be an idea to group up and go and have some words next home match, no way to speak to a women IMO.

just greet them with a knowing smile next time that you see them (pre-match against Wigwam) and say "I hope that you are not going to beat me and my husband up today fellahs"

quite simple, but

Watch their blushing faces

failing that, we'll round up a possee and run them out of town.
